		This book concerns itself with issues of much greater importance than the phenomenon of the hundredth monkey; it is about the necessity to recognize the dangers of sum zero conflicts (conflicts that result in a winner and a loser).
		There was no "100th monkey phenomenon." It is a shame that such a grand idea of stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons is based on pseudo-science.
		It is based upon a phenomenon observed that when a critical amount of monkeys began using a certain tool, that skill was automatically transferred to the rest of the species- even if the other monkeys lived far away and in isolation.

	Infinite Being - The Shift and The Hundredth Monkey Effect
		The Hundredth Monkey Effect was first introduced by biologist Lyall Watson in his 1980 book, ‘Lifetide.’ He reported that Japanese primatologists, who were studying Macaques monkeys in the wild in the 1950s, had stumbled upon a surprising phenomenon.
		His book was soon followed up with a deeply inspired work by Ken Keyes in 1981, called “The Hundredth Monkey Effect.” In this, Ken Keyes made an impassioned appeal for an end to the Cold War and its policy of mutually assured destruction.
		So, Watson proposed an arbitrary figure of ninety-nine monkeys, and said that one more, the so-called one-hundredth monkey, would then provide the critical mass of consciousness necessary to trigger the effect.
